Played today, hit the ball horribly but wasn't the golf courses fault. This is the best bargain in OC! They need to rebuild a number of tee boxes & sand traps, but the recent aeration and acid rain has made the course very lush. They have put up signs reminding players to fill divots and repair ball marks. Only problem the cart attendents don't fill the sand cups on the carts so we can help take care of the course. Also the signs are a waste, as considerate players do these things already, and the ones who don't aren't going to read the signs anyway.

Management has made great strides with this course. Fairways are coming back, and greens have always been good, considering the proximity to the ocean. Customer service is great! Bad points: only a... Continue »

Management has made great strides with this course. Fairways are coming back, and greens have always been good, considering the proximity to the ocean. Customer service is great! Bad points: only about five of the greenside sand traps have been rebuilt; tee boxes need to be rebuilt; some greens have pineapple weeds present. However this is well worth the money. Note, on the 18th & 19th of October, fall aeration will start

Good bang for your buck.

For a Sunday p.m. there was no waiting, great pace of play, cooler weather than up in Corona-Riverside. Fairways are thin, greens hard and fast, though putts don't break much. Some holes very narrow, others wide and relaxed. Good value.

The only good thing about this course is it's location. Tee boxes were horrendous, bare, not level, divot damage everywhere. Fairways were okay, but many bare spots and hardpan. Greens were just pu... Continue »

The only good thing about this course is it's location. Tee boxes were horrendous, bare, not level, divot damage everywhere. Fairways were okay, but many bare spots and hardpan. Greens were just punched and sanded. No sand in traps. It's tos bad, I think it has many interesting holes, and the wind can really add some difficulty. The locals keep playing it though, but not worth a trip for me.

The course was fun and the greens were true and good speed. The bunkers could use some work and the course is a little short.

Tried Shorecliffs for the first time last week and was pleasantly surprised. I had heard a lot of bad press about this course but it seems like they have been working hard to make improvements. I did the 9 holes for $15 early bird special - Cart and breakfast included. It was the greasiest egg sandwich I have ever eaten - delicious! I regularly play early morning back nines at El Toro, San Clemente Municipal, San Juan Hills and Aliso Viejo. I found this course to be the best value - especially if you need the cart.

Lumpy tee boxes and some bald spots around the perimeter of the greens were my only complaints, but for $15 you can't be too picky. It looks like they are doing some work on a few of the holes so I expect play to only get better. New sand traps and trees were going in on #15.

The front nine was closed down until 8am so the back nine crowd got mixed in with the folks who were playing 18, even with 4 groups in front of us, we got through 9 holes in 90 minutes with very little waiting. You may want to call ahead if you need to tee off before 630.

Definitely worth a shot if you are a cheapskate who is not satisfied with executive courses. It is also lots of fun to drive the cart through 3 feet of water, which you will need to do to get from hole to hole because the course is connected via storm channels! A true golf adventure.

Call ahead if you have never been there because there is no way to get to this course from the 5 freeway! It is maddening because you can see about 4 differen fairways from the freeway but no exit will take you there. You have to take PCH or something, I got totally lost.

Try the course, you will be surprised by the new bunkers, and also by some of the other improvements.

My wife and I just moved to the area and were plesed to find a golf course that truly cares about it's customers. We played on a Saturday morning and was pleased to find a green fee around $50.00 with cart. It is nearly impossible to play golf in OC for anywhere near that rate.

We spoke to a number of locals and they explained that the new management company has been extremely proactive in improving the conditions of the golf course. During our visit they recently unveiled a renovated #16 which included new bunkers and newly turfed areas and mounding. When we checked in the golf shop staff members were overly gracious and proud when they told us that we would be taking a new golf cart out for the first time. Apparently they just recieved a brand new fleet of golf carts.

Our morning continued with an early morning snack in the snack bar. "Red" a jovial Shorecliffs employee encouraged us to try his "Quick and d%mn Good" breakfast sandwich and it truly was.

With the alternatives we are faced with in Orange County We would strongly reccomend Shorecliffs Golf Course to anybody and everybody we know.

As I mentioned earlier It truly feels as though the staff and management of Shorecliffs cares about the customer and from what we can tell is one of the only golf courses we have played in the past 6 months that is proactively improving the conditions and playing experience.
